Chapter 32 Stars are all
empty After work, Li Wenzhao caught the butler who had escaped from his post in the tea room downstairs.
As expected, he couldn't let him go. He ran wild for the whole afternoon and was not seen. The boss had to come and catch him personally.
"Assistant Jing, is Mr. Li difficult to get along with?"
When he walked out of the door, he heard the chattering inside.
Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows. He had been away from the office for a few hours, and the butler had already mixed with the employees so quickly?
He paused slightly.
He wanted to see what the butler thought of him.
"Hmm." The housekeeper chewed vaguely: "The big boss is very difficult to serve."
"Can you give an example?"
"Is he super fierce during working hours?"
"I'm so scared every time I see him, but I don't know what happened in the past month, I feel that he is not as scary as before."
"Assistant Jing, tell us in detail."
Jing Yi: "What."
"Tell us what President Li is like in normal times?" There are
many snacks in the tea room. There are already several empty potato chip bags in front of Jing Yi. He pinched the strawberry Daifuku and took a bite: "He is very fierce when he scolds people."
"..."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Jing Yi continued to chatter: "He is also very good at deducting wages."
"Huh?"
"I said that President Li looks like he has a tendency to domestic violence."
"Assistant Jing, you can tell at a glance that he has suffered, come on, There is also a piece of pizza here, Assistant Jing will feel good after eating it."
Jing Yi accepted it with a smile .
If you want to have a good relationship with your colleagues in the workplace, there is only one way - mindlessly scold the boss.
The harder you scold, the closer the relationship.
But while scolding, he always felt a little cold on his back.
Was it an illusion?
"Assistant Jing, why do you want to stay with President Li and suffer like this?" Someone asked, "With your ability, you can definitely find a better job."
[You overestimated me, young man. With my ability as a waste university student, there is really no place for me to stay except Li's, which is very tolerant...]
"Alas..." Jing Yi took a bite of pizza and sighed, "There is no way, he really gave too much."
"..."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
He couldn't help but want to pick up the butler and beat him up. He coughed lightly, and the chattering in the tea room immediately shut up and turned into a nest of cautious quails. Li
Wenzhao walked in with a sullen
face. All the employees turned pale and immediately found excuses to leave, fearing that they would be punished by the big boss if they were late.
Only Jing Yi was stunned where he was, it was over.
Li Wenzhao approached, looked at the food that the employees had fed him, and sneered: "The snacks that ruined my reputation, are they delicious?"
Jingyi coughed, and asked with a smile: "Young Master, when did you come?"
Li Wenzhao: "When you were discussing whether I was difficult to get along with."
Jingyi's heart skipped a beat. It
's over.
That means he heard everything.
Li Wenzhao: "Yeah, I heard it all."
Jing Yi touched his chest, "How can you listen to my thoughts so casually? I have no privacy anymore."
Li Wenzhao sneered and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips: "Oh, you're putting the blame on someone else."
Jing Yi: "..."
He pursed his lips and apologized: "Young Master, I don't really want to say bad things about you. I'm doing this to get closer to you." Li
Wenzhao: "Do you have to say bad things about your boss to get closer to you?"
Jing Yi asked as a matter of course: "Is there anything that can build friendship faster than scolding your boss?" Li
Wenzhao: "..."
"Don't worry." Jing Yi smiled gently: "My heart has always been with you." Li
Wenzhao didn't want to believe his superficial loyalty, and said: "Get off work."

Back at Li's house, Jing Yi found that Li Mingzhi had also returned.
Since becoming a regular guest, Li Mingzhi went with the crew to the West for filming this weekend. He has been away from home for many days and did not say he would be back in advance, which scared the Li family.
"Young Master, you're back."
"Butler Jing, long time no see." Li Mingzhi's eyes were bright after getting a little tanned. "I've been away for so long, I missed you."
Jing Yi was quite touched: "Young Master,
you're so thoughtful." "Quick, quick, please say a few more words to me." Li Mingzhi said: "I don't have enough jokes. After filming this episode, even the director said I was too conservative."
Jing Yi was touched for a second and then fell silent: "..."
He was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly asked: "Young Master, your character in the variety show comes from..."
Li Mingzhi said loudly: "You."
Jing Yi: "..."
Thank you, but I'm not that crazy.
A sneer came from his ear, and he turned his head to see Li Wenzhao's eyebrows slightly curved, as if he had just laughed.
"Then let's change clothes and leave quickly, we're running out of time." Li Mingzhi said.
Jing Yi was confused: "Where are we going?"
"There's a fashion dinner in the evening led by our director, and many big names have been invited. Big brother is the biggest investor in our variety show and is also on the invitation list. As for Butler Jing, you just go there to eat and drink. The food at the dinner is especially delicious... Hey, didn't you receive the invitation?"
Jing Yi's eyes lit up when he heard it.
The young master was still thinking about him.
As for the invitation, Jing Yi recalled what happened a few days ago. The impact was too great, and it was estimated that no one paid attention to what they received.
"Big brother?" Li Mingzhi turned to look at the man on the sofa: "Are you going?"
Li Wenzhao: "No..."
"If you don't go, I'll go with Butler Jing."
Li Wenzhao stood up: "Wait for me to change clothes."
Jing Yi wanted to say something, but was pushed into his room by Li Mingzhi. He did have a few suitable clothes, which were bought for him by Li Mingzhi using the eldest young master card when he first came.
Jing Yi was not the protagonist, so he didn't need to show up in public, and his clothes didn't need to be too colorful. He thought about it and chose a dark black suit with golden flowing patterns on the shoulders and left chest, which was simple and generous.
When he was leaving, Li Mingzhi looked at his clothes and exclaimed: "Looks good, butler Jing, you look like someone from our Li family."
Jing Yi's mind immediately flashed through the "real and fake young master" jokes he had seen over the years, "Because clothes make the man?"
Li Mingzhi shook his head mysteriously: "Your appearance is on the same level as our Li family."
Jing Yi: "..."
I heard that you mainly wanted to brag about yourself.
But Jing Yi was still very happy. After he came here, his appearance and figure were still his own, and he felt at ease when he was praised.
Jing Yi rarely wears this kind of formal attire, and he feels a little uncomfortable: "Is the waist too tight? I feel it's a little tight."
"No, it looks better this way." Li Mingzhi turned around and found that his elder brother had also come downstairs, and quickly pushed Jing Yi forward: "Brother, look, doesn't the housekeeper Jing look good in this suit?"
Jing Yi turned around and looked behind him, and his eyes met with Li Wenzhao's, and a touch of surprise flashed across his eyes.
As expected of the main character in the novel, Li Wenzhao's appearance is really amazing, and he looks even more like a prince in the dragon robe.
"Brother?" Li Mingzhi raised his hand and waved it: "Why don't you say anything?"
Li Wenzhao retracted his gaze, his Adam's apple moved slightly: "Well, not bad."
Li Mingzhi: "I'll tell you." The
banquet
was held in the lobby of a five-star hotel in the center of the capital city. The three of them set out from Li's house and then parted at the entrance.
Li Mingzhi was going to appear with the crew, so Jing Yi followed Li Wenzhao into the lobby through the VIP channel of investors.
This banquet was large in scale, with many invited guests. There was a long queue outside the main entrance, and the organizer needed to check the invitations one by one.
As for Li Wenzhao, he could go directly to Rome through the VIP channel after stating his identity.
Jing Yi looked at the long queue next door and said, "Young Master, aren't we bullying others by taking advantage of our power?"
[It's so exciting to drive straight in front of so many people.]
Li Wenzhao led him down the red carpet corridor, his face a little confused: "Are you a college graduate?"
Jing Yi: "Yeah."
"Your academic qualifications are exaggerated."
Jing Yi cast a glance at the law enforcement: "That's illegal."
He would never do anything that violates the law. Li
Wenzhao sneered, "Do all college students use idioms randomly like you?"
Jing Yi lowered his eyes in embarrassment, "Others may not know, but I use them this way."
"..."
The two chatted as they entered the banquet hall. As soon as Li Wenzhao appeared, he naturally became the target of the businessmen's friendship. Jing Yi was not interested in their polite words and just wanted to eat and drink.
"Go and have fun." Li Wenzhao saw that he was bored, "Don't eat too much."
"No problem." Jing Yi was eager to try, "I'll lose 10 pounds first, so I can eat as much as I want tonight!"
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Forget it, eat.
"Don't drink, be careful of trouble." Li Wenzhao said.
Jing Yi seemed to be tickled: "I'm not a troublemaker, I won't cause trouble."
Li Wenzhao laughed, "You've caused enough trouble?"
Jing Yi recalled everything that happened after he came to Li's house. It seemed that he did have some troublemaker attributes. If Li Wenzhao didn't mention it, he would have forgotten it.
Jing Yi rarely paused: "Okay, I gave you so much face, but you kept grabbing my braids."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
The housekeeper was not watching him, always worried that he didn't know where he jumped to.
He had a kind reminder, but he didn't expect that his words would come true. Jing Yi really caused him a big trouble. Jing
Yi
left the central business district next to Li Wenzhao and went straight to the dining table. The theme of the banquet was just a decoration of delicious food. He had to eat first.
The banquet was glamorous, and the invited guests were all dressed up, gathering in groups of three or four to taste wine. After all, Jing Yi was an outsider, and he couldn't recognize who the stars were, so he just tasted the wine without distraction.
"Butler Jing."
Li Mingzhi ran out from somewhere, and changed into shiny clothes, with makeup on her face, looking much more delicate, as if she had opened two layers of beauty filters, "I knew you were here."
Jing Yi was fighting with a plate of amber grapefruits, and looked up when he heard it: "Huh? You're looking for me?"
"Didn't you say before that you like Teacher Yuan? He's over there, I can take you to chase stars first!"
Jing Yi looked in the direction of his sight, and didn't even know if the other person was flat or round, probably a star that his original self liked before.
He shook his head decisively and refused: "No, young master."
"Why?"
Jing Yi fed himself a piece of red wine pear, "I don't like him now."
"So soon?" It has been less than a month since the last time they talked about their favorite stars.
Jing Yi argued: "Men's hearts are fickle."
Li Mingzhi: "..."
He glanced across the hall and saw his elder brother standing out in the crowd. Not far away, Shen Shubai also came and was secretly adding something to his cup.
"Butler Jing, Butler Jing." Li Mingzhi widened his eyes and hurriedly tried to pull the people around him.
Jing Yi was pulled by him, and the cherry almost choked his neck. He picked up a glass of drink and drank half of it: "What's wrong?"
"Shen Shubai put something in the cup. Is he going to harm my brother?"
Jing Yi narrowed his eyes and looked over. Sure enough, he saw Shen Shubai holding a bottle and moving towards Li Wenzhao.
Li Mingzhi was worried: "Let's go and inform my brother."
"No need." Jing Yi held him: "I'll do it."
Li Mingzhi: "...Ah? Then you do it, you do it."
The drink he picked up was quite delicious, with a refreshing fruity taste. Jing Yi raised his head and sipped half of the cup, then closed his eyes slightly.
Li Mingzhi: "???"
[Young Master! ]
Jing Yi shouted loudly in his heart with all his strength. Li Wenzhao
in the crowd turned around with shock on his face: ? ?
Li Mingzhi was so shocked that his ears rang: ...
[Shen Shubai tampered with the cup, don't drink anything I give you! ]
Jing Yi tilted his head and asked Li Mingzhi: "What cup did he tamper with?"
Li Mingzhi opened his mouth and shook his head: "A tall, tall glass... filled with red wine."
[A tall glass! Filled with red wine! ]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Li Mingzhi: "..."
Then he turned his head: "...???"
Did the butler know that his inner voice was revealed?
"Okay, let's continue."
"..."
Jing Yi turned around and looked for the fruit drink he had just drunk. Li Mingzhi quickly said, "This is fruit wine. Although it doesn't taste like alcohol, the alcohol content is quite high. You should drink less."
Li Mingzhi rubbed his ears while speaking, and always felt that his eardrums were a little numb.
Jing Yi often worked part-time in his previous life, and he also developed a little tolerance for alcohol. He smacked his lips and said, "Then I'll drink two glasses."
"Yeah."
Li Mingzhi's phone rang. The director called and wanted to take them, the newcomers, to make an appearance.
Jing Yi patted him lightly: "Come on, young master, you are the fattest!"
Li Mingzhi: "..."
Everyone was busy, and Jing Yi returned to the table bored. He was full, but he could still have some more delicious fruit wine.
He drank one glass after another and soon forgot what Li Mingzhi had told him.
When he came to his senses, Jing Yi had already finished all the fruit wine in front of him.
He felt his Adam's apple itchy and reached out to loosen his bow tie.
A small black trumpet slowly emerged from the flesh in the vaguely visible collar.
Jing Yi was unaware of anything and walked dazedly to the rest area in the corner and sat down, his eyes were upside down.
Oh no, I seem to be drunk.
And a little hot.
Jing Yi picked up the promotional leaflet next to him and fanned it, his eyes attracted by a name on it.
The small black trumpet flashed in the collar.
[Wow, Cen Mingming! Why is she still here? Didn't she evade taxes for hundreds of millions? Why hasn't she been banned yet...]
"..."
The next second, the whole hall fell silent.
"What's that noise?"
"Who's talking?"
"Cen Mingming evaded taxes? Is that true?"
"It must be a prank. How could she steal so much..."
Shen Shubai, who was stuffing laxatives into the fruit, suddenly paused: "...???"
In the crowd, Li Wenzhao was stunned for two seconds and immediately turned around to look for the housekeeper.
The guests in the lobby were talking a lot, and a beautiful woman in the room was pale.
Jing Yi leaned in the corner, squinting to look at the second name on the flyer...
[Fang, Fang Heng...]
The lobby suddenly fell silent.
[Fang Heng, he will perform a show later, and it will be a sexy dance. He should like it very much. After all, he often dances striptease in underground bars. He can get hundreds of thousands of dollars for one dance. I will make a fortune tonight...]
The discussion in the hall suddenly broke out. There was a bang somewhere in the hall, and an empty space was dispersed. The male star standing in the middle of the empty space was frightened.
The voice like King Yan calling a name was still ringing.
[Pei Pei, Pei Pei...]
The female star whose name was called bit her red lips, and the people around her looked at her strangely.
[I remember now, this girl knows three things, she was busy with her brother-in-law while her own sister was still lying in the hospital bed, and she was pregnant. It is said that she even joined hands with her brother-in-law to murder her own sister for a huge insurance... Tsk tsk. 】
The actress whose name was called fell to the ground with a thud.
The hall was in complete chaos. Many reporters smelled a big melon and picked up microphones to interview the three celebrities, forcing them to flee.
Li Mingzhi walked through the crowd and came to Li Wenzhao: "Brother." Li
Wenzhao's eyes were still searching the messy crowd, but he couldn't see the familiar figure: "Find Jingyi first and take him out."
If the person involved knew that it was Jingyi who did it, he might take crazy revenge, and the housekeeper would be in danger.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Li Wenzhao and Li Mingzhi searched the hall separately, while Jing Yi huddled in a hidden corner, continuing to extend the judge's pen——
[This guy is... called... Yang Zai Lun, eh, this guy is amazing, he got together with his stepmother, and he loves letter toys, and often ties his stepmother to the car in public...]
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
A man was furious and wanted to find the person who spoke, but the voice was ethereal, as if it came from all directions, making it impossible to find it.
The man was so angry that he kicked over a dozen tables and chairs.
"Get out!"
"Asshole, how dare you slander!"
The reporters looked at each other and ran towards the parking lot.
The man's face turned pale: "You are not allowed to go! All of you come back here!" The people
in the hall were in a panic. Those who had done bad things were full of guilt, fearing that they would be called out by King Yan the next moment. Those who had not done bad things were very interested in eating melons and typing fast in various gossip sharing groups.
There were many smart people present, and they slowly found the pattern. "Look at the banquet brochure! The whistleblower is revealing the performance list according to the brochure!"
Everyone rushed to grab the information.
"There is another person in the brochure!"
"It's..."
"It's the movie emperor... Qiu Guzheng!"
A round of voices suddenly broke out in the crowd, which was more shocking than the previous whistleblowers.
The reporters who had just run away not long ago ran back, staring at their target actor, holding up their cameras and recordings, ready to grab a front-page headline at any time.
Jing Yi was drunk, and his vision was getting more and more blurred. He shook his head, trying to sober himself up.
"Qiu... um."
His mouth was covered by someone.
The cool smell of men's perfume came from the front, and a broad chest wrapped around him, giving him a full sense of security.
A familiar voice said in his ear: "Jing Yi, be obedient, don't think about it, and don't say anything. Let's go out first."
Jing Yi was confused.
He hadn't finished speaking yet.
But before he could struggle, he was grabbed by Li Wenzhao's waist and forcibly taken away.
Everyone at the scene had been waiting for a long time, but still didn't hear the news, so they couldn't help but start talking.
"Will it not be exposed?"
"It's been so long, it seems there is no news."
"It seems that the Best Actor should be no problem..."
Qiu Guzheng also came back to his senses from the shock, quickly returned to normal, and raised his glass with a smile: "I don't know which friend is joking here, it really scared me..."
Jing Yi, who was buried in Li Wen Zhao Huai, heard the voice, popped his head out, and saw a figure dimly.
"I, Qiu Guzheng, have been in the industry for more than ten years, and I am keen on charity. I have no news to expose. I am sorry to embarrass you all."
Hearing this, Jing Yi curled his lips.
[Bullshit, you are the worst one. You raped underage boys before you even made your debut. You are even more unscrupulous with your fame and status. If this happened in ancient times, you would be a traitor and a thief. I really want to give you two big cunt bags... What a bastard, are you worthy of being a movie emperor? ]
Qiu Guzheng: "..." Li
Wenzhao: "..."
He covered the mouth of the little housekeeper, but he couldn't cover the little housekeeper's heart, which still burst out.
After Jing Yi finished speaking, he threw away the brochure in his hand. After King Yan finished calling the roll, the Book of Life and Death was temporarily useless.
[What is the star lineup for tonight's banquet...]
[All stars are empty! ]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
